Explore Snowdonia & North West Wales on foot
Twenty short walks explore the extraordinary variety of Snowdonia and North West Wales, from mountain villages and wooded valleys to the coast, lakes, historic industrial landscapes and the cultural heartlands of the Welsh language.
The routes include Betws-y-Coed, Llyn Geirionydd, Abergwyngregyn, Newborough, Llanberis, Beddgelert and Nant Gwrtheyrn. Along the way the book brings in slate and granite quarrying, gold and lead mining, heritage railways, Welsh legends and figures such as David Lloyd George, giving the walks a strong sense of the history that shaped this dramatic landscape.
Each walk provides clear route directions together with mapping, photographs and practical information to help plan the outing.
